How do I listen to an archived show?

How do I listen to an archived show? My Media Player says it cannot play a file with the extension ".mediaplayer". The extension seems wrong.

[We wrote to Gayle assuming she was trying to listen to our archived local talk shows such as Interconnect, the WMUB Help Desk, Sound Health, Free Advice or WMUB Forum from the home pages of those shows. Those archives are encoded as RealMedia files. The only player for listening to those is RealPlayer, which can be downloaded at no charge from the website located here.

Another option is to use our podcasts, for which we recommend the free iTunes player for Windows or Mac. The podcasts use mp3 files. Find out more about podcasts here.]
